Recommendations:
1. Introduce standardization of curricula and licensing and certification of teachers to improve standards (as is done in the USA).
2. Introduce high quality selection procedure for higher level teachers and offer the candidates better incentives.
3. Computer education should also be introduced gradually right from the elementary stage in education.
4. Introduce one medium of instruction. In the international environment of competition today, English has assumed unprecedented importance.
5. English has to be given preference if a choice is to be made
6. Various bodies of academic experts should also be formed to monitor, standardize and develop all the above mentioned programmes.
7. Use electronic media more extensively for educational purposes. A channel could be devoted to just education.
8. Give more importance to language education and mathematics at the primary and secondary levels.
Language and mathematics are the foundation on which acquisition of other skills depends.
